and here’s why.

In the NBA coaches are given time to produce. After that period is up then if they fire you then that coach can’t blame anyone but themselves. Blatt was fired in Cleveland after having gone to the NBA Finals without Kyrie and Love the year prior and was having a second successful season when he was fired and replaced by Lue.

Coach firings happen no matter what color you are (in the NBA). In terms of “racism” the NBA is about the most fair league in all of professional sports here in the USA. Now the NFL is a totally different story as well as baseball, and in hockey never mind coaches black players are equivalent to seeing a unicorn in that league.
